"Civilization is entirely the product
of phonetic literacy.As
it dissolves with the electronic revolution, we rediscover a tribal integral
awareness that manifests itself in a complete shift in our sensory lives....This
new electronic environment itself constitutes an inner trip, collectively, without
benefit of drugs. The impulse to use hallucinogens is a kind of empathy with
the electronic environment."

"you have heard of the yeti? the ubanamanamanala
snowman? that is of course not an animal or a prehuman being, that is originally
one of the shamans
gods, the real name is Banjhakri, that means the shaman of the forest...
so therefore nobody will ever find the yeti in nature, because you have
to go
in trance
and then you'll find the Yeti easily..."

"uhm, the Banjhakri uhm, the (...) man or the,
the (...) shaman, the forest shaman, he wears a skin of, uhm... d-d-d-deer
(jibberish) the symbol of this mushroom!"

"the yeti loves to drink shnaps too, so he's like
a real shaman... he, uhm, uh, if you want to contact
him, you have to put some alcoholic offerings in front of the forest."

"he has one dreadlock, that's in honour of Shiva...
i ask 'then why don't you have dreadlocks all over?' he said 'because,
you know i'm, uh... pupupupu ap tepepep un nenenenn umndibdibdib dsedsedse
de ann ktsingngngng to have dreadlocks all over'"

"I believe with the advent
of acid,
we discovered new ways to think and it has to do with piecing together
new thoughts of mind. Why is it that people are so afraid of
it? What is it about it that scares people so deeply? Because they
are afraid that there is more to reality
than they have ever confronted. That there are doors that they
are afraid to go in and they don't want us to go in there
either because if we go in, there we might learn something that they don't
know. And that makes us a little out
of their control."
- Ken Kesey (instigator of Acid
Tests) taken from the documenary, _LSD: 25_

"He is not seeing pretty
visions, he is seeing monsters....he is losing his mind and he feels it
going"....which was a military person talking and pointing at
a blackboard with a stick (from the same documentary)

"you're introduced to L.S.D....unless
you've taken some other drug, for instance marijuana or something, then
it's an altogether new thing! you can actually have, um ,a religious experience,
which can be more important than reading the bible six times, or becoming
pope or something like that, you know?"

sample: "There is an area
of the mind that could be called unsane, beyond sanity, and yet not insane.
Think of a circle with a fine split in it. At one end there's insanity.
You go around the circle to sanity, and on the other end of the circle,
close to insanity, but not insanity, is unsanity."

"I'm going to lead you, kicking
and screaming, giggling and laughing, into the future. I'm going
to relax you, I'm going to get you!" - Timothy Leary during an interview
along with G. Gordon Liddy; "A spiritually cleansing derangment of the
senses."; "The happy chaos
out of which enlightment might come."; "Oh no that was real,
let's get out of here."

were on wing... I noticed an eagle in the sky, I watched it...
it spiraled around, and landed on a tree... soon then I found myself...

crazy..."

hallucinogenic drug, ALKALOID substance
that alters consciousness; also called psychotomimetic, or, popularly, psychedelic
or mind-expanding drug. Hallucinogens include mescaline, or PEYOTE;
psilocin and psilocybin,
from the mushrooms
Psilocybe mexicana and Stropharia cubensis; LSD
(lysergic acid diethylamide); BELLADONNA; and MANDRAKE. MARIJUANA has hallucinogenic
properties but is pharmacologically distinct. Hallucinogens have been used by
primitive societies in both the Old and New Worlds to facilitate meditation,
cure illness, placate evil spirits, and enhance mystical and magical
powers. They produce a wide range of effects, from pleasant to very disturbing,
depending on dosage, potency, and the personality and environment of the drug
taker. Effects include altered perception
of time
and space and of the color, detail, and size of objects; also the experience
of imaginaryconversations,
music, odors, tastes, and other sensations. Hallucinogens are not physically
habit-forming, but tolerance, i.e., the need to take increased quantities to
induce the original effect, may develop.
